My quilt guild accepts magazine and resales them for $.25 each or 5 for $1.00. Often people take them home and bring them back so that others can buy and read and/or use them. Granted a lot are old magazines, but still, a pattern is a pattern. Some only keep their magazines a few months before donating them. i stopped almost all except Fons and Porter, and I may stop them. With all the free stuff on the internet and the magazines from the guild, I don't see much point in subscriptions. Besides, where do you keep them all?
